English (English) is spoken by about 1.5 billion people across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and as the world's lingua franca. It belongs to the Germanic (Indo-European) language family and is written in the Latin alphabet. English has very little inflection and instead relies heavily on word order and helper verbs, with a huge vocabulary drawn from both Germanic and Romance roots.
Translations are processed privately and your input is not logged as raw text. Finnish to English is just one of the 180+ pairs available.

Finnish to English translation tips
- English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out. Finnish expresses location, direction, and possession through case endings instead of prepositions, so single Finnish words often unpack into whole English phrases.
- Finnish is not related to English or the other Nordic languages; it has no grammatical gender and no articles ('a' or 'the'), so English determiners are simply dropped or rendered through word order and context.
- Finnish uses about 15 grammatical cases expressed as noun suffixes instead of prepositions, so 'in the house', 'from the house', and 'to the house' change the ending of talo (house) rather than adding a separate word.
- Finnish has no dedicated future tense; futurity is expressed with the present tense plus a time expression or context, for example huomenna menen (tomorrow I go, meaning I will go tomorrow).
- Long words are built by agglutinating suffixes onto a stem, so a single Finnish word can correspond to an entire English phrase, such as taloissanikin (also in my houses).

Is my text kept private?
Your Finnish text is sent securely for translation and is not stored as raw content. There are no ads and no tracking cookies.
How much Finnish text can I translate at once?
You can translate up to 2,000 characters of Finnish per request. For longer documents, translate them in sections.
Why doesn't the translation include words for 'a' or 'the'?
Finnish has no articles at all, so a correct translation never adds equivalents for English 'a' or 'the'. The information they carry is left to context or expressed through word order.
Why are some Finnish words so long?
Finnish builds meaning by attaching case, possessive, and clitic suffixes onto a word stem, so one long Finnish word can carry the same information as a short English phrase.
